[TriLUG] Open Source Empowerment

[Roy Vestal]

I agree. My point is I had looked at all the distros at the time, slackware,
debian, red hat, mandrake, peanut, etc...(before gentoo, sorry Lee) and I
decided I liked Red Hat. I've learned it, I've developed a reputation
because of it, I've "converted" folks from other Intel based OS's because I
was able to show it's model as "ease-of-use". This has changed. Now if I
keep red hat, I have to change.

It's not that I do or don't have the choice. That's been solid. It's that
I'm being FORCED to change or choose another. That I DON'T like.

Isn't this the whole point of being open, to have a choice? I am unconcerned
by RH's decision, or Novell or anyone else. We all have choices available to
us, to find an alternate distribution that provides what we are looking for.

RPM lovers might choose Mandrake, while others might prefer Gentoo, or
Debian,
or...
